Power Bucket Teeth Kit (HE302, HE482)
70.8124
Power Bucket Grapple Kit (HE482 only)
70.8123
Ventrac power buckets are designed solely for the purposes of digging, scooping, and transporting materi-
als such as soil, mulch, sand, and gravel.
Ventrac power buckets are hydraulically controlled from the driver’s seat, allowing for smooth, effortless
operation. The power bucket is designed to sit upright after detachment, with the lift arms in the proper
position for reattachment when the power bucket is used again.
If the power bucket is used on a power unit equipped with weight transfer, increasing the weight transfer
setting on the power unit will increase the lifting capacity of the power bucket.
To balance the power unit and keep all wheels securely on the ground while using the power bucket,
adequate rear ballast or an appropriate implement mounted on a 3-point hitch is necessary. If using the
power bucket on an optional “3-n-1” attachment for rear 3-point hitch, adequate front ballast or an appropri-
ate attachment mounted on the front hitch is necessary.
Optional teeth can be mounted on the power bucket’s cutting edge to help break up and loosen compacted
soil.
An optional grapple kit* can be mounted on the power bucket to allow the power bucket to pinch and carry
logs, brush, or debris.
*The optional grapple kit requires the power unit to be equipped with dual hydraulic auxiliary couplers.
Kit # 70.4109 is used on the 4500 power units. Kit # 70.3039 is used on the 3400 power units.
